Stumble It!
Wow. Has it really been two months since my last post?
Yikes.
Earlier this summer, I was proclaiming my blogging mojo to be lost.
I’m pretty sure this is now beyond that. Has my blogging mojo been castrated?
I was thinking the other day, how on earth did I muster up the focus and energy to be in graduate school for the last two years? I can’t even finish a comic book without having to take a break these days.
Is it Twitter’s fault?
I wonder. I find that I don’t have the patience for Facebook anymore. Soon 140 characters will even be too long. Once my patience for Twitter is gone, then what?
Maybe we’ll have to find a shorter, simpler way of communicating that doesn’t require the attention span that Twitter does.
I think I’ll start working on creating that next big thing. Later. Right now I’m off to do something else for a few minutes. And then I’ll go to bed. If I don’t get distracted before that.
I will leave you with a great song and a video by the Minnesota band Low. It’s a bit melancholy, which seems appropriate right now. And, anybody who can rock a single-note guitar solo and make it work is a fucking badass in my book.
To those of you who still come around here: thanks. I’ll keep looking for my mojo.

I’ll be waiting.
Twitter is good, but it’s all lost to the winds. Blogging is more perminant, and more real.
I’ve noticed a lot of bloggers have been lost to the twitterverse, but I don’t think it’ll ever get me.
This video of haunting music + slow mo destruction suited today’s mood perfectly. Thanks
Blame everything on Twitter. I do.
[...] in general. Twitter has killed, or at least seriously injured, a number of great blogs, from Raging Dad to Mere Bagatell, and I’m sure it will kill many more. And when people get bored of twitter, [...]
Having posted three in six weeks, I feel rather prolific now.
Hey Raging Dad,
I found you via a retweet on Twitter. I like what I see so far. I LOVE LOW!!!! Do you like Tindersticks, Okkervil River, ida, the Rivulets, iron&wine? Give me some music recommendations!
My regular blog might be too freaky for you, but I wish you would check out my blog devoted to my kiddo, it’s my hidden bonus track: http://kiddo.thebeautifulkind.com/
Sorry you are feeling blog uninspired lately, sometimes I wish I could run out of things to blog about. I get burnt out about every 3 months or so, but I keep plugging away….
I did a thing recently where I asked my readers to submit ideas. I actually got a lot of good ones that kept me from the brink of writer’s block.
Good luck with the mojo finding.
Honey, you were born equipped with a “shorter, simpler way of communicating.” Grunt like all good men do.
Good point! I was biologically predisposed to communicating via Twitter. In fact, Twitter is even too much!
Hey,
It’s almost been a month since your last post. Ease off on Twitter and post to your blog more:)
Have you checked underneath the sofa cushions. That is where my mojo likes to hide.
